Ted Kooser's having quite a year — first he's named poet laureate of the United States, then I quote three of his poems here, despite the lack of meter and rhyme, and now he's won the Pulitzer, for Delights and Shadows (which I have not got).
Little, dear reader, would delight me more
Than claiming industry, a brand new poem —
Or six! — explained my blog's four-day-long snore.
The trouble is, I know you'd have me show'em.
The truth is, friend, I have no just defense,
Unless your mercy grant me indolence.
